“I’m looking forward to getting connected to the entrepreneurial community at UT, especially other women and nonbinary entrepreneurs. I’m hoping to take some serious steps forward and become more ready to enter pitch competitions here at UT by the end of it.”

Kanea MacDonald, Class of 2027 MFA

About the FoundHER(s)

[I was inspired to be an entrepreneur because of ] the need/opportunity to found the first theatre in my home region that specifically and intentionally creates plays to be enjoyed by the kids and families of the Rio Grande Valley. The idea of being an entrepreneur comes second to the mission itself.

About the Company

I have always been passionate about Theatre for Young Audiences, and even while more and more theatre companies were popping up in the Rio Grande Valley, none of them catered to kids and families, so that’s where I come in.
